Mike Lynch was acquitted of defrauding Hewlett-Packard after a complex legal battle, which included navigating thousands of documents and accounting issues that drew comparisons to the Enron case.
Christopher J. Morvillo, Lynch’s lawyer, expressed profound relief post-trial, stating that despite the odds a year ago seeming unlikely for an acquittal, the perseverance paid off significantly.
The idyllic relief for Lynch and Morvillo was tragically short-lived as both died in a yacht accident alongside several others, including Lynch’s daughter, shortly thereafter.
In a notable tragedy, just days before the yacht incident, Stephen Chamberlain, a co-defendant in Lynch's trial, lost his life in a hit-and-run incident in England.
